Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Chapter 182 Cooling down

Bai Zhizhi couldn't help laughing as she watched from the side. "Don't be so cautious. It's okay if they fall. They're all walnuts with the skin on. Just pick them up again."

Although she was supposed to be making a fire, Bai Zhizhi was not idle either. She was adding firewood to the stove and cracking walnuts at the same time.

These are all used to peel the almonds and make dates and walnuts.

Maybe it was because it snowed suddenly today. It was already past working time, but the three hired workers at home had not yet arrived.

In order not to delay the progress at home, Qian also came to the kitchen to help.

Not long after, several children who were tired of playing in the snow ran into the kitchen with their red little hands raised.

As soon as they came in, they squeezed towards the stove.

Bai Zhizhi looked at Ruibao's red little hand distressedly, carefully holding it in her hand, "Are you cold?"

Ruibao smiled and shook his head, "Mom isn't cold, she's just icy."

"You." Bai Zhizhi nodded his little head with a smile, then held him in her arms and held his little hands to roast them by the stove.

Not long after, the three men in the family came in one after another.

The small kitchen was instantly packed.

"Everything has been brought in, and all the work outside has been done." Qian asked calmly without even looking up.

"The snow at the door has been almost cleared. It's not that the weather is too cold, so we want to come in and warm up."

Zhou Changjiang said with a smile, looking around a little embarrassedly. Now that they came in, it seemed that there was no place to work.

"When it's cold, I don't know where to go and rest in other rooms. We are all crammed into this small place, and there is still space for work."

Qian glared at them unhappily and shook off the walnut shells on her body in a few seconds.

"I'll go to the main room to peel it. Zhizhi, you can smash it and bring it to me. Or you can just call me and I'll come get it."

After Qian finished speaking, she walked out of the kitchen carrying the cracked walnuts. When the cold wind blew in from the door, she shrank her neck unconsciously. It was indeed quite cold.

The old ladies had already gone out, so the others naturally felt embarrassed to stay in the kitchen and followed them out.

Bai Zhizhi thought about it, put Ruibao down from her lap, and followed his mother into the main room.

"Why are you following me?" Qian glanced at her, put down what she was holding, and continued to work with swift hands and feet.

"Isn't this something I want to talk to mother about?"

Bai Zhizhi sat down in front of her stepmother-in-law with a smile, peeling walnuts from time to time.

"Mom, look, it's snowing now, and it's extra cold at home. The whole house is freezing, and it's hard to work. Shouldn't we think of a way?"

"What can we do? It's always like this in winter." Qian sighed, "It's warmer in the kitchen with the fire burning. Go there quickly and don't suffer here with me."

She was old, so a little cold was not a big deal to her, but she had just seen that the third daughter-in-law was extremely cold.

She is not an evil mother-in-law, so there is no need for her to keep people around and suffer together.

"The kitchen can't hold so many people. I can't let my wife stay in the kitchen comfortably while my parents are freezing outside."

Bai Zhizhi said this, her eyes rolling around. After making sure that her cheap mother-in-law was not angry, she spoke tentatively.

"Mom, what do you think about us buying some charcoal?"

Charcoal can burn for a long time and is definitely much better than firewood. Putting a charcoal basin in the main room will definitely make things much better.

Besides, this winter is still long. If it continues to be this cold, there will definitely not be enough firewood at home.
